Images cropped when printing

In Photoshop Elements 10, when I attempt to print 5X7 images on an 8.5X11 sheet in landscape mode, it reduces the image size to 3.5X4 and crops the image. The image appears correct in the print preview, but reduces and crops when printed. I have printed on both my Epson and my HP with the same results. If I open the image in Photoshop 7, it prints fine. Can anyone help?

Can you post a screen shot of your Print dialog from Photoshop Elements, it sounds like a setting might be off.

Why is my raw image cropped when I reopen it?

why is my raw image cropped when I reopen it?

When you edit a RAW file, any changes you made are stored in a Sidecar file with the same file name, but with a .xmp extension. If you find and delete that sidecar file, then the RAW file will open uncropped. But, you only have to select the Crop tool in ACR, and the crop window with handles will appear, so you can change the crop. Or having sellected the crop tool in ACR, the escape key wil cause your image to revert to full size.

Poor Image Quality when Printing PDF from Office 07 using Acrobat 9 Pro Ext

Hi there,
Hoping to figure out why my images (jpegs, gifs, pngs, etc) seem to print in very poor quality when printing from Powerpoint and Word 2007?
When I actually print out the pdf onto paper, the images seem fine. The image quality is also good in Word and Excel
I did not have this problem using Office 2003 products.
Is this a common problem? I realize that the problem maybe Office related but any help or information appreciated.
Thanks

If the images' file format is PNG or TIFF you could play with the compression settings available in Acrobat's Preferences.
Edit > Preferences > select the Category "Convert to PDF".
In the"Converting To PDF" pane, select PNG or TIFF.
Then, click on the Edit Settings" button.
For either image format you could try one of the Lossless compression routines.
Be well...

Poor Image Quality when printing in Pages

I created small (150 x 100 pixel at 72 dpi) images for printing on a one-page flyer in Pages. I dragged and dropped them into place, and things look great on the monitor. But when I print (using a Canon MX310) all-in-one, the images look bad - they are not looking crisp and sharp like they should. I have done everything on my printer settings I can - setting it to FINE quality, photo paper, etc. but they still look bad. Any ideas? I had tried this same thing in InDesign but there I got definitely jagged images on output. The images are TIFFs. I tried a different Canon ip3500 desktop printer, but to no avail.

You need +at least+ 200dpi.
300dpi is recommended to get fine detail.
The size of the image has nothing to do with it, it is how many pixels you have per inch on the page.
Obviously 72dpi has chunky pixels that you can see with your naked eye.
The other thing is where did you get the images from? If they came from the Web then they are probably highly compressed and have compression artifacts which are painfully obvious when printing.
Just changing formats is not going to do anything. What's that they say about a sow's ear…?

Lightroom 2.5 Image Size When Printing

I have searched and tried several approaches, but cannot get LR to adjust an image size correctly when printing.
For example, I have a Lab Test Page tif image that has a document size of 23" W x 29" H and a resolution of 180 ppi.
I can use CSR 4 Image/Image Size to change this to 8" W x 10.5" H and a resolution of 320 ppi using resampling. The reduced image prints correctly in CSR 4 on 8.5" x 11" paper and results in .25" margins top and bottom. The same thing happens in LR 2.5 with the size reduced image.
However, if I try to print the original image using LR 2.5 to automatically resize the image it does not work correctly. I have tried all sorts of combinations of settings to get it to reduce the image (as is done in CSR 4) and print with .25" top/bottom margins without success. The image fails to resize correctly.
Is this a bug, a feature??, or operator error? Can anyone tell how to make LR 2.5 automatically resize so it prints correctly? I have tested this on other computers with the same results.
Thanks

Go to print module.
Select Print to jpg.
Set the resolution at 180 ppi.
Other output settings, sharpening, paper profile as required.
Set the margin sizes as required.
Set the cell size to the size of the image
Set the Custom File Dimensions to the size of the paper...29" x 23" in this case.
You can drag the Cell size and the various borders around until you get exactly the lay out on paper you require. Then when finished hit print to file, name the file and the job is done.
If you want to print a a different size, with a different resolution, on different sized paper, with different borders all this can be done in the print module and it is WYSIWYG so no guess work (or calculations) involved. Using LR rather than PS for this also has the advantage of using much better algorithms for upsizing images than PS and applying output sharpening for the specific media type you intend to print to, all using the RAW data

Image glitch when printing to Panther Pro RIP

I'm having random issues when printing separations to a PantherPro 46 imagesetter from Indesign CS4 (processes through the PantherPro RIP on an OS9 computer ... super old, I know). An image will randomly shift in the box. (see example of what was imaged to film).
This is what I have collected: It happens only on images within a pdf. Happens on either 4-color separations or Composite Gray. When we find the glitch, we cannot replicate the issue when printing a second time to the same imagesetter.
The printer manufacturer only suggested that we print a postscript file to the imagesetter instead of the native file. Thoughts/suggestions?

Issues with image centering when printing from CS5

I contacted EPSON tech support about this issue, they are putting the blame on the application used - in my case Photoshop CS5 printing with an EPSON R2880.
I am trying to figure out exact print tray margins to take into account when printing horizontal 13x19 images on EPSON's Hot Press 13x19 paper on the R2880 (via manual roll single feeder).
These are not borderless full frame images, 13x19 image files set on white with exact white frames around the image, so the shift in centering becomes quite obvious on the print.
Here are the two print settings I have tried, both do not center the image correctly:
Selected Scale to Fit Media & Center Image Top:0 Left 0.105
Selected Center Image: Top: -10,152 Left -0.118
(margin values are entered in the print window automatically)

u are probably not getting much help on this unless you post screenshot of your process (starting with File> Print window)
remember, Photoshop can print a document correct regardless of how it looks on the monitor (and vice versa: Photoshop can display a document correct regardless of how it prints)
i recommend getting a known target like the WhackedRGB.jpg and see where the problem is occuring (in Photoshop color management settings, on the monitor, on the printer or both)...

Reducing an image dimensions when printing?

The image I created is much larger than the final size needs to be. Nominally letter to Bisiness card. How can I reduce the dimensions of the image so it prints at the correct size?

Normally, one would create at final size.
What tool did you use to create the file? - that would be the first choice for editting.

Pasted images are cropped when printed

I use the Snipping Tool quite often. Since purchasing the HP Envy 4500 printer, when I paste snipped images to Word, the image looks fine in Print Preview. However, when I print the document, the snipped image is enlarged and does not fit in the pasted area. I only get a portion of the image on paper.

The only solution I've found is to paste the snip in Paint, and then copy that image and paste it to Word. It is so frustrating that HP can't come up with a solution. They think it is a Microsoft problem.

Photos get cropped when printed

I have some images that I am sending to my local Walmart for printing.
Walmart uses Fuji equipment.
When I get the prints back I've noticed that some of the prints have been 'cropped'. A portion of the top or bottom is missing. This is most noticeable because I have added text to the bottom of these photos and it is easy to see where the text gets cut. I've checked my images in Photoshop. The image size says exactly 4 x 6. I then upload the jpg using an ActiveX tool that gets run from the Walmart photo site. I've even checked some of my photos with the 'Print Preview' function. The preview looks fine. Just like my image on my pc. Any suggestions? I've also used Kodak's services. They provide a 'Cut and Trim' option that can be turned on or off. Turning it off provides a print that is exactly what was sent. Even if there is extra white space around the image. But everyone tells me there is no such option with Fuji.
Thanks for any help!

Randy,
1. I have had the same experience with the machine at CVS. I cropped them precisely @ 4x6" landscape at home, but their equipment went further.
2. Most recently I tried out Winkflash. They will give you 50 free prints, just pay $0.99 for postage. I did not perceive additional cropping. Try them. www.winkflash.com
3. Walter Mossberg, the WSJ computer guru, wrote a glowing report about the Kodak service. I have not tried this service.
4. Printing at home is OK for a few prints, but it tedious to do a bunch of snapshots, and also expensive when one factors in ink and paper.

Auto crop when printing 8 X 10 photos

When I print 8 X 10 iPhoto automatically crops the photo. All other sizes print the photo without the crop. How do i stop this?

The aspect ratio of an image is the ratio of the photo's width to its length. For an 10 x 8 it would be 1.25:1. A 6 x 4 would be 1.5:1
You can select the aspect ratio in the Crop portion of iPhoto's Edit mode to whatever print size you want:

Image issue when printing

I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. In my job I am responsible for training materials. I often convert pptx or docx into pdfs and never had a problem with images but now I do. PDFs show as being successful and everything looks good on the screen but once I print some images look really bad (pixel). Others don't.
When I pdf a pptx in slides view or handout view everything looks good when I print it. When I pdf the same document in notes page view it looks horrible.
I called the vendor who created the training material and they confirmed having heard of such a problem before but they are not having the issue with the particular material now.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Corinna

Image moves when printed from SAP queue versus Adobe Reader.

I've got a form with a image embedded into it that serves as a background watermark.
This document is usually printed from Adobe Reader, however some users have requested the ability to print directly to a SAP printer without using Adobe Reader to print using windows drivers.
When the form is sent to a SAP printer the image watermark is for some reason moved about 3mm to the right which causes the watermark not to align with the Text Fields that also print on the form. The text fields do not move, they print in exactly the same spot with either print method. Only the image seems to be affected.
Has anyone run into this? The image is an embeded .png file that is set to Scale Image Poportionally in the sizing options.
Thanks for any input!

Thank you for your replies.
I looked at the notes you suggested and it does seem related to the extra margin added to documents printed to PCL-5.
If I use LiveCycle to set an image field .5mm from the left edge of the page, and then print it from SAP directly and then from Adobe Reader I see two different things.
Adobe Reader (with page scaling option turned off) will simply omit anything that falls outside the printable range.
SAP will move the omitted content into the printable area. This is what is causing my image watermark not to align properly with the text in front of it. The image field was too close to the left margin and so in the process of printing, SAP has moved it over to fit in the printable area.
It seems I can fix this issue for my particular requirement by creating a new image field that has the extra white space removed so that I can keep the image field farther away from the left edge of the page.
Not sure if there is some way to change the way the drivers for device type HPLJ4 are handling these margins, but it will likely just be easier to change the images to move them further from the edge which seems to fix it.

Image Distortion When Printing

Had an ad supplied for a book that was printed digitally. Entire book printed fine except for page with this ad. I got an image drop shadow, but it was way out of position and distorted. Printed claimed it was a bad PDF. All's I did was place a customer-supplied PDF on the page in InDesign, then exported entire book to print-ready PDF. It was fine throughout all proof stages, but when book delivered, I got the strange image distortion. ???
Thanks.

Hi peterpica,
You might try printing this image with a different printer and then check.
What version of Acrobat are you using?
There might be some problem of low resolution from the printer.
So, please check and let me know.

Printing with different aspect ratio (or, How not to crop when print?)

Hi all,
I'm trying to print 3:2 aspect ratio pictures on 8 1/2 X 11 (US Letter page).
Obviously, it's not the same aspect ratio, so normally fitting such 3:2 image in, -say- photoshop would require me to either CROP the picture or have white BORDERS around it, on either side.
Now, printing in iPhoto will only offer croping, which is definetly not what I want. I can and will live with 2 white bars on my picture; I do own cutting table just for that. But I'm not used to iPhoto.
Quickly, in Aperture I can print as I want it, 2 white bars, whole picture fitting IN the paper (there's also a mode called 'Fill Page'; which is exactly and only what iPhoto is doing).
*The question:*
Am I missing something out on how to print while fitting the whole image on paper (also called 'Fit Entire Image' in Aperture), while adding white paper bars?
Also, I readed this thread, mostly about it:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1417869
I knew the maths part.
So what I'm doing as a long workaroung (see below for shorter workaround):
I calculate using the custom Print size (see this screenshot, from user Old Toad, which is exactly what I'm telling about: http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/iP7customprint.png ) manually, so I get as Paper Size : US Letter and as Print size: Custom with these custom settings:
Width: 11.00 in
Height: 7.30 in
It's all fine, the print was perfect. But I don't feel like messing each time with these numbers only to print one page.
Quicker solution: import into Aperture (and even there, if you are using RAW in iPhoto, the imported in Aperture is the JPEG based off the RAW ((apparently Aperture cannot understand iPhoto's way of working with RAW, but this is another topic)) ).
Thanks! Sorry, it was quite long for nothing, I'm just really missing the 'Fit entire image' on iPhoto... (that is, if it's non-existing, not if I only just didn't found it yet..)

Numbers:
Camera resolution:
roughly 3008X2000 (Nikon D50)
Paper printed on: good old fasioned 8 1/2 X 11 US Letter sized
Ratio of picture: roughly 1.5 (one size is 1.5 time the other)
Ratio of paper: around 1.29 (one size is 1.29 time the other)
The picture overflows in lenght of the paper (iPhoto take the picture's width and places it 8.5 in wide, so technically the paper size should be 12.75 to perfectly fit the ratio. But I only have 8 1/2 X 11 and I do love to cut paper.)
